Could you elaborate on the frequency of Bitcoin Mining rewards halving? Is this a regular occurrence? If so, how often does it typically take place? I understand that Bitcoin's mining difficulty adjusts to maintain a consistent block interval, but how does this relate to the reward for mining a block? I'm curious to know if the halving of rewards affects the profitability of mining and how miners adjust their strategies accordingly. Could you provide a brief overview of the economic incentives behind this mechanism and its impact on the Bitcoin network?

Prior to this date, miners received 50 BTC for each block they mined; however, after the halving, the reward was cut in half to 25 BTC.
